Due to a cruel obsession with torture, stress, and unnecessary complexity, Emily and Dan have decided to suffer through the bitter cold of North western China and the pain of cycling through southeast Asia before returning home and trying to rebuild a life in recession-plagued USA.

Days 4&5, February 6th and 7th, 2011 - Detian to Chongzuo, China

Written by Dan

On the morning of the 6th we visited the Detian Waterfall which sits exactly on the border between China and Vietnam. It is the second largest transnational waterfall in the world (next to Niagara falls). However it only falls 40 m and has the least amount of water in winter. Still, it was very impressive and great spot for a rest. Starting that afternoon and the next day we cycled back to civilization towards the city of Chongzuo for some laundry and a tune-up on the bikes. In chongzuo we saw a leaning pagoda and ate some KMC (fake KFC). We also saw a breakdance battle which was actually amazing.
